BOTTLE.

Application filed May 14, 1913.

T all whom it may concern Be it known that I, HENRY A. SLATTEN- can)? acitizen of the United States, residing at Lindstrom, in the county ofChisago and State of Minnesota, have invented new and usefulImprovements in Bottles, of which the following is a specification.

The invention relates to bottles and jars, and has for an object toprovide a bottle which cannot be conveniently used a second time.

The invention embodies, among other features, a bottle which is soarranged and constructed that after it is once unsealed it will be unfitfor further use and cannot be conveniently refilled and sealed a secondtime, thus preventing the use of the bottle as a container for aspurious or adulterated fluid design to be an imitation of the originalcontents of the bottle.

In the further disclosure of the invention reference is to be had to theaccompanying drawings, constituting a part of this specification, inwhich similar characters of reference denote corresponding parts in allthe views, and in which:

Figure 1 is a fragmentary sectional view of the bottle, showing thenormal and sealed position thereof; Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional viewof the bottle after the same has been unsealed; and Fig. 3 is aperspective view of the cap.

Referring more particularly to the views, I disclose a bottle body 10including an integral neck 11 having the outer face 12 thereof inclined.A stopper 13 is adapted for insertion in the neck of the bottle body 10to close the same and the neck 11, at the point of formation of the neckon the botneck so that the inner inclined wall 16 there- Specificationof Letters Patent.

of will engage the outer face 12 of the neck 11, the lower end of thesaid cap being adapted to extend slightly beyond the weakened portion14: formed at the juncture of the neck with the bottle body. The top 17of the cap 15 is preferably made of thin glass and is provided with avent aperture 18.

After the bottle body 10 has been filled with the desired fluid thestopper 13 is ar ranged to close the neck 11 and the cap 15 is thenarranged to encircle the neck as shown, and pressed downwardly so thatthe lower end of the cap will move slightly beyond the weakened portion11, a suitable mucilaginous substance being preferably arranged betweenthe outer inclined face of the neck and the inner inclined face of the,

cap in order to rigidly seal the cap on the neck, it being readilyunderstood that the air which will be compressed within the cap when thesame is arranged on the neck will pass outwardly through the ventaperture 18. Now when it is desired to unseal the bottle, the cap 15 isstruck a blow sufiicient to break the neck 11 of the bottle body at theweakened portion 14, thus entirely removing the neck, stopper and cap bya single blow directed at the cap. The bottle body will now be unsealedso that the contents thereof can be poured therefrom, and it will bereadily apparent that by mutilating the bottle body as mentioned itcannot be readily reused for the accommodation of another or similarfluid.

Having thus described my invention, I claim:

A non-refillable bottle consisting of a body portion, an outwardlytapered part formed short of the end of said body portion, a neck formedintegrally upon said tapered part, a groove formed on the exterior ofsaid neck at its junction with the body portion, a closure arranged tofit snugly throughout the length of said-neck, a closure cap of greaterthickness than said neck and greater in length with respect thereto,said closure cap being formed with an inner outwardly flared surfaceadapted In testimony whereof I afiix my signature to provide a wedgingpart, said neck being in presence of two witnesses.

formed with an outwardly tapered surface HENRY ARTHUR SLATTENGRENadapted to cooperate with said wedglng part, said closure fitting saidneck in a man- Witnesses:
